Dinner and other news

valihaToday was the first time I went outside after two weeks being cooped up due to illness (not counting the trips to the doctor to get those very painful shots) in order to get this for dinner:
Both my aunt and me were getting sick of soups and bland dishes, and today while we were trying to decide what we wanted to have for dinner, we looked at each other and said "Ćevapi!" at the same time. :D It was just perfect, and exactly what we needed. I haven't felt so good about a meal in a long time.
There's a place not far from where we live that makes fabulous ćevapi, and I pass it by on my way to and from work. I sometimes stop by on my way home and get some for us. They're quite addictive, so I take care not to get them too often.
In other news, I still tire easily, and often feel exhausted after a couple of hours sitting up. I'm getting quite sick of teas, thank you very much for ruining my enjoyment of them, you nasty flu! I'm done with my medication, and it's been days since I had any fever to speak of. I'm no longer required to wear a mask, but I do need to make sure my mouth and nose are covered by a thick scarf as they don't want me to get a sore throat which might then lead to worse things.
There's been an announcement in LJ news about some changes regarding communities, maintainers and moderators and a new category of comm owners = persons who created the comms.
There seem to be two major concerns: one is from maintainers who are complaining that this will turn comms into dictatorships instead of communities run by mutual agreement, and the second one is from original creators who have previously been burned by giving maintainer status to friends and then having those friends turn around and seize control of the comms, kicking out the original creators.
I think both sides have some valid arguments, but I think this is something that we'll have to wait and see in order to understand how it will affect us. As a maintainer and mod on a couple of LJ comms, I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. Some threads of interest: Owners?, What exactly is the point, What about an active but absent owner, Bitching about games aside... .
Their other announcement about LJ implementing games on site doesn't bother me as I have no intention to install and play them. They are one of the reasons I loathe Facebook and barely ever use it other than when I have to get in touch with cousins who spend their lives there.

In order to improve community management, LiveJournal is introducing the role of 'owner' for communities. The owner of a community is the only maintainer who will have the authority to remove other maintainers, rename the community, or delete the community. Over the next few days, community owners will be determined. In most cases, the user who created the community will be the community owner. For communities created after today, the user who creates the community will automatically be the owner of the community. For communities created prior to today, the community owner will be determined as follows... [rest of the text at the original entry - they haven't cut it so I can't link to to the exact section]

Date: 2011-02-06 09:14 pm (UTC)Oh, The Losers is a fun action film that was released last year, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans, who simply rules the movie and is well on the way of becoming my favorite actor. I loved him muchly, and I'm looking forward to seeing him as Captain America.
